is it possible to use genoa and jib in a solent set up with this rig for downwind sailing? Looks like it would work? Best to you guys with your new boat.
I remember they were saying there is a mini-keel thingy you can have to protect the rudder or props. Is this also available for the 482? Can you also go through the cost? I think with cruiser package, 482 costs 1.5 mil without tax. Is this correct? I am seriously considering this boat.
Yes. The 482 will have the option of getting a mini keel, but we don't think pricing has been announced yet. We will have a better answer when we sit down with the company in about 6-7 months to go over our build process. Costs have changed since we put our deposit down, so you'd have to get updated pricing from Balance.
Congrats!!!!
Great vid guys! Bet you can`t wait for yours!
Happy New Year and big hugs from Down Under xx
Happy New Year to you as well Bert!
Great informative video on a beautiful boat.
Glad you enjoyed it! You'll have to join us when we finally get it.
Very exciting - cannot wait for your big day!
Thank you. Neither can we!
Beautiful boat, you must be thrilled!
Yes! In about 6-7 months we start our build process, and cannot wait.

You could, but more than likely you’re going to fly your asym or screecher in a down wind setting. Plus she sails better when you’re in broad reach.
This was interesting but not once did we se the engine spaces and how they are accessed
Check out our other Balance videos…

@@GTFOplan Thanks. I would love to see you guys go full nerd on what you choose.
When will they start making your boat???
Latest we’ve heard is October!
@@GTFOplan Oh wow that’s much sooner than I was thinking. We are excited for you. Good luck!
The lazy mans option then they pan over to some lagoons 😂
This boat needs a lime tree! Like in water world. I’m not sure what size would be appropriate.
Andrews a bit rude with the pointy /waggy finger. Surprising a salesman would do that.
